Non-Dug Union & Northern State Buttons
Beautiful EG-6 Civil War Engineer Coat Button
Beautiful EG-6 Civil War Engineer Coat Button

This is an absolutely superb, non-dug EG-6 Federal Engineers
Coat Button ! I had a difficult time photographing it to show the
detail, due to it retaining 99% shiney gold gilt . Finally was able
to overcome the "shine" with very subdued lighting, but I can
tell you, in your hand this one shines like a newly minted gold
coin ! The areas on the reverse that appear dark in my pics
are barely noticeable in hand, it's mostly the dark lighting pics.
It's just beautiful ! It has no pushes, cracks, or damage of
any sort, with excellent details. Reverse shows a tight, upright
shank still intact, and correct period backmark that reads,
" * Waterbury Button Co. * Extra " These are extremely
rare in decent excavated condition, and a lot of folks who
want an example, end up with a good period non dug one.
This one is way above good, and displays beautifully !

points. Reverse has a period correct * Extra * Quality backmark,
